Bandit's Song – 8:42

May 25, 2013

Originally titled: “За разбойника”


Last Chapter. Bandit’s Song.

The bandit tells his story. He still refuses to change his ways, but his days are numbered. The dead men are getting closer and closer and they will not give up...

Writing the song

I wrote act one of this music (the country part) a long time before completing the entire piece. This was the winter of 2006. And even though the lyrics were very different, I kept the music unchanged. In 2011, I invented the ending riff, played by two guitars (the slow, but intense part at the end), so I began composing at the end of October. When it was time to write the chasing scene, that connects the two acts, I was out of musical inspiration, and for a long time I did not know how to do it, because their tempo, key and atmosphere differ significantly.

Despite the difficulties, in April 2012, I managed to finish it, and by the end of June, to record it. The lyrics were born equally difficult. I spent seven months in attempts to write them. And when I was finally done, in May 2013, during a five day singing marathon, I recorded the vocal parts, together with the ones for “Hunting Time Has Come Again”.
